Enviolo AUTOMATiQ Hub Gearing System - Overview

Forget gears, simply pedal and go. The Enviolo Automatiq Hub gearing system features truly fully automatic stepless gear shifting technology and is available on Shimano STEPS EP8 ICE trikes. It is available on both 26" and 20" rear-wheel trikes.

The system lets you focus on what’s important, like enjoying your ride. Simply set your desired cadence once (how many pedal rotations feel comfortable for you) and the Enviolo Hub will constantly adjust its internal gear ratio to maintain a steady smooth cadence regardless of the speed or riding conditions that you encounter. The system can be easily adjusted while riding using a wireless handlebar-mounted controller or Bluetooth Smartphone App. Simply turn on, set your STEPS power assist level, pedal and go.

This contextual innovation is a tremendous breakthrough in convenience.
A convenience that will especially be appreciated by elderly riders with cognitive challenges.

that is truly incredible. I think i'm going to have to learn more about this gadget. I'm looking at getting an ebike with this automatiq hub with a belt drive. The idea of finding my perfect cadence and then being able to always ride in that cadence is truly a game changer!

Thank you for the informative and concise video!

That has got to make it incredible for exercise since you do not have to think about cadence and just enjoyment of the ride.

I have the auto shift and belt drive on my Tern HSD S+. My favorite bike ever!! Its truly amazing!

Excellent video, fantastic and totally compensable explanations. Chris Parker, thank you for giving us your personal experience.

Not a trike user but have it on my normal riese & muller bike and i love it. very clean steering bar and one thing less to worry about just peddle and go always in correct gear at stoplight or when slowing down. It takes a few days to get used to but once you have its almost like riding a no gear bike.

Another cool development and clear and honest presentation in this video. I've already tried Bosch Performance Line CX with Enviolo and the experience is a Revelation - I expect Shimano Steps is similarly so. And one day I'll go electric myself - I'd like an Enviolo with a Gates drive too, but not just yet! Those hills don't get any flatter though...

Great video. Super informative. Thanks...and... Kudos!

Never mentioned a key parameter defining the system, the maximum ratio between the lowest gear and the highest gear. I believe it is a factor of about 4. It matters to people who must encounter a steep slope. What’s the lowest gear it will go to?

We are touring cyclists, looking to upgrade our trikes to ICE in the near future. We pull a burley cargo trailer to carry our support gear. How well will this system function when pulling up steep grade?

Great informative video. I have a question, bit off topic, im looking at a cargo bike with the automatic and wondered if it would work for hilly areas or if the Enviolo twist type shifter is better suited? Pretty much all reviews are from the rather flat Netherlands..

The cargo bike has it paired with the 4th gen 85nm bosch cargo line motor..

Any guidance would be really appreciated!

What kind of cart are you pulling? I'm thinking I could go get groceries if I had more storage.

[Alexvable]

Do you have to be continuously peddling when using this hub?

[KeithAVass]

Can an Enviolo Automatiq handle a Bafang BBS02 (500w) mid drive motor and can it change PAS settings for you electronically? Where can I source an Enviolo from Australia?

[TonyVsEarth]

Will it handle mountain biking though...

[dalemorren]

How high can the cadence be set? Like for example u dont have a rider setting it but instead a gas engine, output through a cvt & u want to say keep it at 5500rpm

[jjlad]

Any way to change the target cadence on the run, or only via the app?

[rossbrumby]

Why do you need the electric motor for it? Can't you just have a cadence meter and a battery to operate the shift and save on weight? I bought my trike to stay fit, don't want a motor.

i know this company is known for long lasting stuff but i still dont trust any sort of electronic shifting im sure it works amazing but so many things to go wrong.
